Crescent the Humpback Whale Nov 14 to 16

Nov 14 right through to this morning of Nov 16 – BCX1258, the Humpback whale known as Crescent is still feeding in and around the area from Texada Island, Harwood Island to Sliammon First Nations and Powell River on the mainland.

The Sliammon First Nations operate a fish hatchery and the creek would certainly attract many small fish to feed on the carcasses of spawned out salmon making a great feeding area for this Humpback whale.

Thanks to those calling me right away with the information on where she’s travelling. It allows me to actually get some work done rather than staring out the window looking for her. Please keep those calls coming so we can keep an eye on her and her travels.

Nov 14 – 2 Harbour porpoises at around 1:45 pm spotted by Grief Point foraging in the tide lines – nice to finally see some around again. The porpoise sightings are being overshadowed by the excitement of having a Humpback staying in our area.
